ABOUT HEROs

WATCH MOVIE

Sports venues are not the only places where athletes can demonstrate sportsmanship.
Proactively engaging in activities that create bonds and help society is also a form of sportsmanship. In Japan, however, athletes’ activities outside of athletic competition receive little attention, and the number of athletes engaged in these activities is limited. “HEROs Sportsmanship for the future” is an activity that brings athletes together. By promoting their activities that contribute to society, the project uses sports to create and foster interest and action by many people who share a connection through sports.

We are spreading sportsmanship that creates social ties through three programs that provide opportunities for education, implementation, and recognition.
This is our wish, and our mission.
